VANCOUVER A scholar of Indigenous studies is suggesting the Vancouver Canucks get rid of the team’s decades-old orca logo, arguing it was designed without Indigenous consultation and is “cultural appropriation. “The real issue here is power and profit,” tweeted Sean Carleton, who teaches at the University of Manitoba in the Department of History and Indigenous Studies. “Vancouver is located on unceded, stolen Indigenous territory, and the team makes millions from its operations and Indigenous branding,” Carleton wrote. The logo is in the shape of a C that looks like a B.C. killer whale, and was designed in 1996 by artist Brent Lynch, then unveiled a year later. It’s been worn by every Canucks captain as far back as Trevor Linden.
